VERSES.
Oh! there are hearts that ne'er attuneIn harmony with ours,Or wake in sweetest melodyThe memory of past hours.
'What other joys can ever fillThat chaos of the heart,Where things that are, and things that were,In loneliness depart?
What misery to live and breatheWith those who ne'er can knowDeep feelings that oppress the heart,Bow down the head with woe!
We feel, oh! doubly feel, the griefThat others cannot share,And bitter, bitter is the griefOf thought-embosom'd care.
